Chicago Avenue Bridge Replacement Project

under construction

The project involves replacing the Chicago Avenue bridge over the river, constructing a new riverwalk connection beneath the bridge, fully replacing the viaduct near Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street, modernizing traffic signals including a new signal at Chicago Avenue and Jefferson Street, installing new street lighting and landscaping, creating dedicated CTA bus lanes on Chicago Avenue, and adding new protected bike lanes on Halsted Street. The construction will cause significant traffic diversions and closures in the area.
